Obama Needs the Clintons but No Keynote Address for Hillary

Howard Fineman of Newsweek wrote a column that observes the obvious. Barky needs the Clintons in order to win in November.

Fineman reports what a staunch Clinton supporter told Obama on the subject. It seems right after Obama had been anointed the presumptive nominee, the supporter counseled Obama to make nice with a "potentially disruptive Bill Clinton."

The supporter confided to Fineman that's she'd "pressed [Obama] to do more" to get the Clintons onboard.

"Barack told me it was hard to find the time, and I said, 'You'd better!' "

Guess Barky doesn't need Bill, Hill or any of their supporters in order to win. After all, Donna told him, "Forget these bitter folks; they're so OLD MUTUAL. We can win on a wing and a prayer of hope."

Well, Barky better stop drinking the kool aid before he overdoses from the sugary syrup and can't recover until after Election Day. Here's a fresh cup of truth for his hubris to help him along. Drink and be healed, Barky.

Obama advisers find Clinton a divisive and insufferable hypocrite who is merely yesterday's news. Yet he and FDR were the only modern Democrats to win back-to-back elections, and there is no doubt that a fired-up and ready-to-go Bubba would be a formidable salesman for Obama's cause.

Throughout the campaign, one thing has been apparent. Obama is full of himself; no answered prayers about "pride." And this is what's behind Barky's refusal to consider Hillary as a running mate or even make her the keynote speaker at the convention in Denver.

Sure, he can talk to Fidel, Chavez, Ahmadinejad and a whole slew of tyrants, but Bill Clinton?? Never. And those 18 million votes, who cares??

More reasons why people should not vote for Barky: lack of judgment and temperament to go with his arrogance.
